Nue

Note the thick black fog surrounding the nue.

A nue is…what is a nue? It’s very hard to be sure.

A deadly creature from Japanese folklore, the nue is said to be a combination of monkey, tiger, and snake. It’s hard to know how anybody can be sure about that, however, since the nue is always surrounded by a dense black fog that sickens anyone it touches. Even hearing the nue’s eerie, wailing call can bring on confusion and illness. Entire cities have been stricken by the approach of one of these monsters. They are very difficult to fight, and your best bet is to avoid one at all costs.
